Update bool assertions - Githubissues

name: Update bool assertions about: Update assertions to use type_debug to test variable is bool

Describe the change Hi there! I started running into an issue where I was receiving this failure:

FAILED! => {"msg": "The conditional check 'rsyslog_deploy_default_config is boolean' failed. The error was: template error while templating string: no test named 'boolean'. String: {% if rsyslog_deploy_default_config is boolean %} True {% else %} False {% endif %}"}

After some digging and testing, I have not been able to find any documentation to contradict the error saying that there is no conditional check of is boolean for Jinja2 or Ansible.

So I found the following syntax to check for whether a variable is of the type "bool" or not:

| type_debug == "bool"

This change simply replaces two instances of is boolean with | type_debug == "bool" in the assert.yml file.

Testing I tested this change in an existing playbook I had:

- name: configure hosts
  hosts: <remote_host>
  roles:
  - role: rsyslog
    become: True
    vars:
      rsyslog_remote: <remote_logserver>

Using the ansible version:

ansible 2.9.6
  config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = ['/home/ubuntu/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ansible
  executable location = /usr/bin/ansible
  python version = 3.8.5 (default, Jul 28 2020, 12:59:40) [GCC 9.3.0]
